The problem of rapists is common to all societies.
However, the percentage of it differs according to what extent the rule is scary for rapists and to the actual application of the rule.

So I believe I would exterminate any convict rapist who touches my sister, wife or daughter , I would probably kill him in a rage seizure.

Anyway – If a rule is pretty much effective in one society – why not import it ? Similarly we import herbs and medicines from other countries.

At the end rules are man-made and can be adjusted!

There’s something disturbing about that wording. It’s not “women have rights and are protected”, it’s “if someone hurts a woman they’re killed.”

Focusing on the punishment of a crime, rather than trying to prevent it in the first place, seems a pretty common thing in religions in general.

When I read “Infidel” by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, she wrote that she was taught that if women didn’t cover up, men would go crazy and start raping women right and left, creating chaos in society, and nothing would get done.

I find the implication scary: as if men are expected to be so barbaric as to drop everything and rape women at the sight of an elbow or an ankle…doesn’t that send a message to the men that it’s ok if they act like that?

of course it was her fault, I saw her upper arm and I simply couldn’t restrain myself…that whore…

In Islam the rapist man is stoned slowly and painfully to death.

Is there such a thing as a “rapist” in Islam? Didn’t they just pass laws that require women to submit anytime under any circumstances under penalty of beatings and/or death?

How anybody can defend Islam as being good for women is beyond me.

Of course, the question that begs asking is this: Why does Reisy choose to live in the wicked, decadent and unjust United States of America if she would be treated so much better in her homeland of Iran? Methinks it’s very easy for her to spout off from a safe distance!

Gutts, yet again.. Nail. Head. Hit. BTW, you’re new here (I think) so the following may not make much sense to you, but, interesting you mention architecture, because a certain Bob Hutton has just left a comment on my architectural blog.

Anyone here like to take a guess at what it says?

@valdemar I can only imagine that the woman are seeing the person that they are going to marry and not the religion; I suspect that many people do not strictly adhere to their original faith & yet are capable of seeing alternative ‘paths’ as having equal validity.

And yet, rog, lots of women do marry into Islam – why do they do it? Anybody know of any research findings on this? It’s hard to believe any woman in the West thinks her new husband and his extended family will be paragons of kindness. I mean, they might be, but that’s not the way to bet. So, why do thousands of Western women marry Muslims?
